Boka bay

the bride of the Adriatic ...

Whoever visit Boka he or she experience it on a special individual way. No matter whether we
are talking about artists, scientists, businessmen or tourists, Boka performs strong impression on all human
senses. Boka is a place where various differences meet up and mix up by creating an entirely special ambiance.
Contrasts are replicated in nature where in one part of the bay one can see steep rocky mountains rising upon
the calm sea surface, while on the other part flourish real botanical gardens. Contrasts are also emphasized
in the cultural-historic heritage where two civilizations of east and of west meet upon each other in a special
harmony. Prehistoric age, Iliric age, Roman - Byzantine age, renaissance, baroque, gothic styles all that is
melted together and blended with the modern life, showing that the real valuables last forever together in harmony.

Boka is bejeweled by seven islands; Mamula, Sv. Marko, Gospa od Skrpjela, Sv. Djordje, Milosrdja,
Ostrvo Cvijeca and Mala Gospa. Along the whole coast of Boka there is a chain of small towns and settlements all
of which has its own story.

Located between the Adriatic Sea and the vide limestone area the region of Boka Kotorska is under
a strong influence of Mediterranean and Mountain climate. That special climate blend creates a distinguished
Sub-Mediterranean climate quite different from other part of Montenegrin coast. Unique feature for Boka is the
early spring when all surrounding mountains are still covered with snow while the coast flourishes with
Mediterranean trees and flowers in blossom. During the winter one can enjoy the pleasant sun and calm weather
on the coast while to the mountains and snow takes just 1 hour of slow drive. Summer season in Boka is pleasant
with a little bit more rain especially in the internal area, than in other parts of the Montenegrin coast, which
is on the other hand reflected in dense vegetation. The most of the rain in Boka falls in the late autmn and partly
during winter. Along the whole coast line of the bay exist the rich distribution of Mediterranean, continental and
exotic vegetation such as laurels, palms, olive-trees, orange and lemon trees, pomegranate trees, agaves, camellias,
mimosas… This is just one part of Boka’s wealthy flora.

Herceg Novi

The city that you miss ...

Herceg Novi is a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor
and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It is the administrative center of the Herceg Novi Municipality with
around 33,000 inhabitants. Herceg Novi was known as Castelnuovo ("New castle" in Italian). Herceg Novi
has had a turbulent past, despite being one of the youngest settlements on the Adriatic. A history of
varied occupations has created a blend of diverse and picturesque architectural style in the city.

Herceg Novi is a major Montenegrin tourist destination. It is well known as a spa and
health center; nearby Igalo has an abundance of healing sea mud called "igaljsko blato" ("Igalo mud")
and mineral water springs called "igaljske slatine" (Igalo water springs). The most famous tourist
attractions in Herceg Novi are castle Forte Mare built by the Bosnian king Tvrtko I in 1382, a clock
tower built by Austrians in 19th century, the Kanli tower built by Turks, and the Serbian church St.
Michael Archangel in central Belavista Square.

Whilst the city itself is not a major destination for sunbathing, with no long sandy
beaches along the rest of the Boka Kotorska bay, many beaches are reachable by boat. Tourist companies
organise one-day boat trips to Lustica peninsula, which lies opposite to the town. Popular Lustica
peninsula beach sites include Zanjic, Miriste and Rose.

Kotor

UNESCO world heritage site ...

The old Mediterranean port of Kotor is surrounded by an impressive city wall built by the Republic
of Venice and Venetian influence remains predominant in the city's architecture. In recent years, Kotor has seen a
steady increase in tourists, attracted by both the natural beauty of the Gulf of Kotor and the old town of Kotor itself.

The culturo-historical region of Kotor has exerted considerable influence, over a span of time and
within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture and human settlement. Kotor and its neighbours
were main bridgeheads of Venice on the southern Adriatic coast. Its art, goldsmithing and architecture schools had a
profound and durable influence on the arts of the coast. It is among the most characteristic examples of a type of
structure representing important cultural, social and artistic values. It is considered to possess outstanding
universal value by the quality of its architecture, the successful integration of its cities to the Gulf of Kotor
and by its unique testimony to the exceptionally important role that it played in the diffusion of Mediterranean
culture in the Balkan lands.

Founded by the Romans on the Adriatic coast in Montenegro, Kotor developed in the Middle Ages into
an important commercial and artistic centre with its own famous schools of masonry and iconography. Throughout the
centuries, many empires battled for control of the city. In the 10th century, it was an autonomous city of the Byzantine
Empire. From 1186 to 1371, it was a free city of medieval Serbia. It was under Venetian and Hungarian control for brief
periods, an independent republic from 1395 to 1420, and then returned to Venetian control once again. French occupation
from 1807 to 1914 was followed by Austrian rule until 1918, when Kotor finally became part of Yugoslavia. Throughout
its turbulent history, a variety of buildings have been erected. The largest and most impressive of these is the St
Tryphon Cathedral. The original church was constructed in the 8th century, according to the annals of the Byzantine
Emperor. A new church, built in 1166, was subsequently damaged during the 1667 earthquake and then restored.

Most of Kotor's palaces and houses, many Romanesque churches, all of Dobrota's palaces, and Perast's
main buildings have all suffered from earthquakes, and some have been partly destroyed. The city was evacuated by all
its inhabitants after the most recent, on 15 April 1979. An intensive restoration and reconstruction programme has now
been completed and the city is flourishing again.

Tivat

Tivat nestles in the heart of Boka Bay, with its wonderful coastline with many beaches, coves,
harbors, and in the great part undiscovered with very attractive hinterland. The rich archaeological findings
and cultural and historic heritage testify of its early beginnings. Various cultural programs, popular festivities
and sports events have become synonymous with the town. Thus, its special features are its people, hospitable and
open for all curious guests coming in good faith. And our visitors with pleasure return, some for the sake of the
well-preserved coastal setting and some for the sake of the atmosphere of hospitality and relaxation.
